I prefer this "stalwart President Reagan stares death down 25 years ago, Chuck Norris unavailable for comment"

We must remain thankful that Reagan recovered quickly from this incident!

Even at this time, his good nature and sense of humor was evident:

"Honey, I forgot to duck." -to Nancy after the shooting.

He also told the doctor that "I hope you're a Republican!"

A very scary day for our Republic. I went on a vacation to a Club Med in the Bahamas a few days later. The people leaving, as I was coming into the Club, had no info at all. Club Med surely does block out the world for your relaxation!

We all have our "get it" moments and this related to one of mine.

I made a point of recording a Nightline special on Reagan after he left office. Within 5 minutes they had said that Reagan's presidency was a wreck and only sympathy from the shooting saved his legacy.

I wanted to puke. I have never watched a minute of that ragshow since.

I remembered the shooting - I was in 8th grade. When it was announced, it was passing period and I was going through mu Jr. High's (now middle school) library going to my next class. I thought of Kennedy, Lincoln and other Presidents that died in their first term that were elected on a "zero" year as ie. 1980, 1960, 1920,.... Reagan luckily broke that rule !
